How come so many Freepers in the Phillipines?

One L and two p's in Philippines.

Beautiful girls, great seafood, warm climate, warm people, and so much more. I came here to retire because the cost of living is so cheap. I rent a five bedroom house, and with all of the expenses, including full-time housekeeper/cook, my net cost is around $700 per month including food. This is a small city, and living in a place like Manila or Cebu is two or three times that because of housing. But I never did like a big city…

Comments by others feeling aftershocks...

Is it just me or are the shakes/aftershocks getting stronger again?

3 Strong Aftershocks in #Cebu in a span of 15 minutes.

10 seconds of tremor felt once again.

People taking shelter here at Pipeline after the strong

I have a metal streetlight pole in front of my upstairs bedroom (where I stay most of the time in the AirCon). I have been watching it dance every few minutes for the past hour or so...

Aftershocks do not seem to end. The one a few min. ago was the strongest in hours. Power is still on, but no public water all day.
